Teradici and Microsoft Azure to turn heads at SIGGRAPH 2016

We’re really excited about what’s coming up at SIGGRAPH 2016. Next week, Teradici co-founder and CEO Dan Cordingley and our CTO Randy Groves will join Microsoft in Anaheim, CA to showcase PCoIP technology running on the Azure N-Series GPU accelerated VM instances.

This is a big deal. For the first time, customers will be able to run graphics intensive, GPU based workloads on the Azure cloud, such as GPU accelerated ray tracing and even high-end applications from the likes of Autodesk and Adobe.

The Azure N-Series VMs based on Nvidia GRID GPUs is a new technology that has yet to reach general availability. But our customers have been asking for GRID-based GPU capabilities in the public cloud for ages. We’re proud to say that we heard you, Microsoft heard you, and we’re both looking forward to providing world-class Teradici PCoIP technology on Azure very soon.

There will be two sessions at SIGGRAPH showcasing what we’re doing. The first is titled, “Why You Should be Rendering in the Cloud” and will take place on Tuesday, July 26 at 2:00pm in room 304C. A second talk called “Leveraging Microsoft’s Azure N-Series for Rendering Workloads and Visualization” will be held at Nvidia’s Theatre on Wednesday, July 27 at 10:30am.

In addition, you can come meet the Teradici team and see a live demonstration at Microsoft’s booth #843 in the exhibition hall. You really do have to see the Azure-powered PCoIP fireworks yourself, and we’d love to see you there.
